CEO of Israel Railways, Shiko Zena:
Today we bring a series of good news to train passengers in the north and south, and this despite the enormous challenges facing us since the beginning of the war, first and foremost the lack of workers recruited for reserve service, along with many security and operational constraints. To my delight, we were able to improve the train service in these areas, increase the frequency of the trains and expand the travel routes, and operate a night service for the residents of the north. All this while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
Wow, some nonsense.
Not a train and not at night!
The main thing is that the politicians make announcements without any content..
The transport minister. Nice start. In my opinion, one of the most important things that needs to be done is to ease traffic jams on Route 4 and Route 1 towards Jerusalem. Running a train from Bnei Brak to Jerusalem on Fridays and Mochas and Thursdays. This is a significant relief on the roads instead of a sea of buses that pollute the air and cause congestion on the roads.
And what about the valley train? Why doesn't it have an extension of hours at night to the center, why does it even need a stop in Haifa, you can continue directly through Atlit. 2 requests
Excellent job serving in transportation
All the best to serve in transportation
Where were you on October 7, Brigadier General Miri Regev?
All this was.
"all night long"
instead of
"all along the heart"
This also includes Saturday trains….
Shame and disgrace what about Herzliya
Yes, it will save me, thank you
The time has long come
Now we can only hope that this improvement will last and not be canceled. Night trains are very important for many reasons and it's a shame they didn't realize it earlier
Starting service in Mitzosh at 22.00 is a joke
Have a good and successful time 🙏🏼
But it's worth starting with public transportation after 23:00 PM in the city if you want the businesses in this city to make a living,
Right now you are just making it easier for us to escape
